I assume this damage is irreversible? Man, what a travesty.

Looks like everything in the interior went in the trash. It looks like with the bump out for the new "stonework" that maybe some of the exterior was left and just covered over, but it's hard to tell.

Looks like there's an old diner under there somewhere. Impossible to tell who built it, though.

Very interesting thread and thanks for sharing all these nice pics with us in the world outside of the "Diner-country". :eusa_clap It's that what I envy you in the USA for. Why did the US export this boring McD and WürgerKing to the rest of world and not the nice diner culture with such a broad scope of different and stylish restaurants with the real vintage touch to it?

Apparently there have been some vintage diners moved to Germany as well as some new ones built here and shipped over- though they have, for the most part, dropped off the radar of the US diner community.

Here's what we think is still around, if you feel like going to one.

I always remember eating at the Townhouse Diner across the street from the Babylon Townhouse (city hall sort of) on Sunrise Highway back on Long Island at about 2am or so. They had some pretty good burgers.

I cant believe I have discovered this thread only today!

Out here on Long Island, you cant drive for 5 minutes (and sometimes less) without tripping over a diner. I eat in a number of them quite often. The perfect blend of casual, homey atmosphere, low prices and huge amounts of food. Theres tons of 'em! Many have been remodeled to various extents, but many havent. I always take them for granted but now Ive gotta take pictures as I go by them. Im excited to show them to all of you!
